Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns (Toast and grind for maximum flavor)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (Can substitute with sesame oil)
- 4 cloves Garlic (Finely diced)
- 1 medium Onion (Finely diced, preferably yellow onion)
- 1 teaspoon Chili flakes (Adjust according to spice tolerance)
- 500 g Chicken thigh fillets (Finely sliced)
- 270 g Dried udon noodles (About 9.5 oz)
- 200 g Broccoli florets (About 7 oz)
- 1/4 cup Oyster sauce (Hoisin sauce for vegetarian version)
- 1/4 cup Soy sauce (Low-sodium recommended)
- 1/2 cup Spring onion (Finely sliced, for garnish)
Instructions
- Toast Sichuan peppercorns in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Grind them to a powder and set aside.
- Boil a large pot of water and add the dried udon noodles along with the broccoli florets. Cook until the noodles are al dente, roughly 6-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a hot wok over high heat. Add finely diced garlic and onion, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the ground Sichuan peppercorns and chili flakes, cooking for an additional 30 seconds.
- Add the sliced chicken to the wok. Sear it for about 2 minutes until golden brown before stir-frying for an additional 2-3 minutes until fully cooked.
- Combine the cooked udon noodles and broccoli with the chicken in the wok. Pour in oyster and soy sauce, tossing everything to ensure the sauce coats the ingredients. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve the noodles in bowls, garnishing with freshly sliced spring onion.
